Salt became a bogeyman when people started being so sedentary as a whole, and when air conditioning became a widespread residential phenomenon, in the sixties and seventies. The two aren’t completely unrelated.

Prior to that, salt was a necessity. Try working outside all day with temps in the nineties or higher and high humidity, without salt. You’ll pass out. People still take salt tablets under those conditions.

Remember when hard pretzels looked like this? Last year Barky threatened the snack food industry with salt regulation. Now Snyder's pretzels have about 3 grains on salt on them. It's about sharing the misery. If some minority can't eat salt, no one can.
